Keyah House
Photographic report of Memphis style shelving and enclosure designed and installed by Keyah Decor
Based in Milan, the Memphis group had a major impact on the design and architecture scene during the 1980s and is considered one of the most influential movements of the 20th century.
The Memphis group was characterized by its use of bright colors, geometric shapes, and bold, abstract patterns in its furniture and object designs.
The Memphis group’s aesthetic was largely inspired by pop culture and mass culture, as well as the architecture and design of the 1950s.
The Memphis group’s style was innovative and broke with the dominant trends of the time.
Their defiant and provocative designs often received negative reviews from critics and the general public, but also attracted a loyal fan base.
Today, Memphis Group designs are still highly valued for their originality and influence on contemporary design.
Memphis objects and furniture are highly collectible and can be found in art and design museums around the world.
The creativity, irreverence and passion for color and form that characterized the Memphis Group continue to inspire designers and architects around the world.
In this project, I had the opportunity to photograph the bookshelf in an open space of Keyah Decor, as well as some enclosures installed in the same space.
I have tried to highlight the colors of the custom designed pieces, as well as the grain and textures of the oak wood.
Whenever I can I work with natural light as it is the most faithful way to represent the volumes and colors.
In interior and architectural photography, I use specialized equipment that allows me to obtain results with high precision and quality.
My Fujifilm X-H2s camera is stably mounted on a Manfrotto tripod with a Manfrotto rack and pinion head, which is essential to eliminate any vibration that could compromise the sharpness of the images.
For this type of photography, I use decentrable lenses, which are essential for their ability to correct perspective distortion, critical in the representation of architecture.
I use fixed focal length lenses because they provide superior resolution and sharpness compared to zoom lenses.
Thanks to their shift function, I can adjust the optical plane without tilting the camera, allowing for a wider field of view and a distortion-free image while maintaining the geometric integrity of architectural lines.
My technical approach also includes post-production, where I apply advanced techniques to faithfully reproduce colors, lighting and visual details.
The goal is for each photograph to be an accurate representation of the work and a faithful visual translation of how the human eye perceives space and structure, always respecting the authenticity of the original design.
